TONY BOOKS AVILEZ, co-founder of the Staten Island Slim Down, "I would wish for everyone to find something that will make them active. So when they get active, they’ll gain momentum and it will keep them motivated all year-long. The most prevalent things I hear are people don’t have the time and don’t know how to get started. Experiment — one of the things we really prided ourselves on with the Slim Down was that it got people to experiment with different [exercise] modalities. Some people found Zumba or yoga or t’ai chi. That’s the most important thing, they found something."
